"We are just gangsters in the market, so why does Mr. Tang make things so difficult for us?"
"Hey!" Tang Ping scratched his head: "Then what should you do? You see, these days, the landlords don't have any surplus food. I finally won 20 yuan from you. You can't ask me to take nothing, right? ? What would you do if it were you?"
The gangster leader no longer had the prestige he had just now, and said dejectedly: "Sir, what do you want, just say it!"
"It's not my turn now, it's your turn!" Tang Ping still played with the money in his hand, then took out one and threw it to the other side: "Tell me, who told you to set a trap for Cheng Chumo?"
The gangster leader and several of his younger brothers looked at each other. If they wanted to run away now, they would definitely run away.
But what happens after you run away? Cheng Chumo was not able to handle this today. Even though the boys present were all poor and miserable, their fathers were very ruthless.
As long as they dare to stay in Chang'an, they won't be able to escape from under the eyes of these people.
As for General Yun and the forces behind General Yun, haha, they messed up the matter. It would be good if they were not thrown out and convicted. It would be impossible to help them find out the truth.
"Mr. Tang, let me think about it..." The gangster leader stood up. A gangster behind him suddenly took two steps back, and then his shoulders were held down by his companions.
"Ma Snake, you...you...what do you want to do?" The man struggled hard, but the two hands holding him down were like two iron pliers, tightly squeezing his collarbone, giving him strength. Can't do it either.
"Bang!" The gangster boss, who was called Ma Snake, suddenly picked up the wooden stool he had just made with his backhand and smashed it on the man's head.
Tang Ping was shocked. Fang Yiai and Li Zhen all took a step forward to stop Tang Ping behind them.
The man who was hit by the wooden stool suffered a bloody head and collapsed.
Ma Snake threw away the stool leg in his hand, knelt on the ground and said, "So that Brother Tang can know that this is General Yun's man. This matter must not be spread to him today."
The man was still twitching, and was tied up by Numb Snake's men, and then thrown into a room on the side.
"Actually, we are the ones working below and don't know much. General Yun ordered us to force Duke Lu's son to write down the IOU, preferably in the name of Duke Lu's mansion. "
Cheng Chumo stared at them with red eyes. He was so excited by these people yesterday that he got mad and started a bet with them.
Fortunately, Tang Ping came to save him today. The other party's target was actually the entire Duke Lu's mansion. If they succeeded, they didn't know what trouble they would cause.
Tang Ping nodded. Nose's answer was in line with his status. It would be unreasonable for someone who could do things in person to know too much.
"Do you know this person?" Tang Ping took out a photo he printed out. It showed the thief who had entered his courtyard yesterday when he saw the surveillance camera.
"This is..." Ma She didn't know why Tang Ping could produce such an exquisite portrait of a human face: "This person should be Liu Shu'er!"
Tang Ping originally had the mentality of giving it a try. He thought that these people were all gangsters in the Chang'an market, and they should know something about these thieves, but he didn't expect that they actually knew each other.
In order to avoid admitting his mistake, Ma She called several of his younger brothers over. They pointed around the photo for a long time, and they all agreed that this was Liu Shu'er.
"This person is the master of high-profile tricks."
"Turn your head over? What's the trick?" Tang Ping was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"Young Master doesn't hang out in the market, so I don't know. The high-flying thieves refer to those thieves who jump over the roof of the house. Among them, those who are high and high and can climb over the top of the house without using tools are called masters. Those like Liu Shu'er who want to use hooks and ropes are called handouts!"
Tang Ping didn't expect that the profession of stealing children would have so many particularities in this era.
"Does anyone know who he is?"
"I haven't heard who he belongs to!" Ma She glanced at his younger brothers, who also shook their heads: "He has a brother named Wu Heizi, and the two of them always eat Chazi together!"
Remembering that Tang Ping didn't know their slang, he quickly explained: "To eat Qiazi is to pick the lock and steal something while the owner is not around."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Tang Ping and asked, "But has this person offended Young Master Tang? I do know where this person is. As long as Young Master Tang is willing, I will take my brothers to get him."
Although he didn't know Tang Ping's identity, he knew the other boys. Their father was either the prime minister or a general, but these second-generation officials followed Tang Ping's lead, which showed that Tang Ping's identity was definitely not simple.
Now that he has betrayed General Yun, if he wants to survive in Chang'an, he can only find someone who can be evenly matched with General Yun.
And Tang Ping, who could convince these second-generation top officials of the Tang Dynasty, was undoubtedly the best candidate.
That's why he was so anxious to show his merit in front of Tang Ping.
"No need!" Tang Ping didn't know if he could find out who the "shopkeeper" they were talking about was after taking the Liu Shu'er. The city of Chang'an seemed peaceful, but in fact, there were turbulent undercurrents. It would be bad if he alerted the snake.
He threw another coin from the money in his hand to the snake, and he stood up: "Chu Mo, write a confession to them, and then everyone signs their signature."
"A confession?"
"That's natural!" Tang Ping looked at Noxious Snake with a matter-of-fact expression: "What if I don't hold your hand and you betray me again in the future? But don't worry, as long as you can help me properly in the future, I won't do anything like that. Why are you, General Yun, so stingy?"
"These two pieces of money should be regarded as my meeting gift to you!"
Two pieces of money, worth two cents, made Du He and others on the side jealous, but that was Tang Ping's own money, and today they were invited by them to settle matters, so they had no choice but to go there. He and Cheng Chumo talked nonstop and wrote a confession to a few gangsters.
Ma She was also decisive, knowing that there was no turning back from this matter today, and now she could only do her best here in Tang Ping.
A few gangsters pressed their fingerprints, and Tang Ping handed the confession to Lao Cui and kept it. Then he pointed at the money on the table and said, "I must take Cheng Chumo away, but you can say that I used the money to take him away." Redeem it, so according to the rules, you will not suffer from the above. And if there are any new developments from above, remember to inform me first."
Ma She nodded gratefully. Tang Ping was right. If they went back and said that someone came to make a bet and won Cheng Chumo back, then they probably wouldn't be able to get a good deal, at least they would have to suffer a lot. of.
But if Cheng Chumo's friends came with money, then they were willing to admit defeat and the money was given, so there would be no reason to keep people here, and their superiors would have no reason to blame them for not doing things well.
"Also, you should find an opportunity to get close to Liu Shu'er and find out who he is working for recently, but don't give away the clues."
"Don't worry, Young Master, we are awake!" Ma She hesitated for a moment and then asked: "If there is news, how should we inform Young Master?"
"Shanghe Village, south of the city, my name is Tang Ping!"
